On Anime
While Anime is a beloved animation style with a rich history and extensive following, our focus here leans towards other forms of animation. This is due to the immense popularity of Anime in online spaces, which is amply covered by other dedicated communities.
This doesn't mean that Anime related conversation is not allowed here, only that it's not our focus. For a dedicated Anime instance, check out ani.social.
On Technical Discussion
While our primary goal is to discuss animated media, conversations about animation techniques and the process of creating animation are also welcome. Whether you're a budding animator seeking to understand more about the industry, or a seasoned professional sharing your experiences, you're welcome here.

The "unfair advantage" part doesn't actually exist. It's been accounted for with the 2 year break you have to take. People who still think there is any unfair advantage involved haven't actually looked into it.
It's easy to get caught up when people say it happens, but every example where people think it happened since the rules around it were set decades ago have been debunked. It's already been handled. But of course, we always remain open to if there are any other adjusments that still need to be made. Basically, there is just no conspiracy or agenda.
And honestly, there is no such thing as 100% male or 100% female to start with. That's just not how the 35 million billion parts humans are comprised of that were never designed to go together in the first place ended up working out when jammed together. Humans are incredibly complex. There are dozens of identified and untold amounts of unidentified markers that determine "how much" male or female our various component makeup is, and the odds of anyone getting 100% of all of them maxxed out to one side is slim enough that it has likely never happened.
That's not true, as I've already pointed out. Males have more stable hips and larger lungs. That doesn't go away ever.
